Homespun Devotions ~ Volume 2

A cheery hello to you! 

I am thrilled to share a new devotional book with you, written by my friend, Mrs. Smith. 

About the Book:

Christian living is like a quilt—multi-colored scraps of wisdom gleaned and assembled one stitch at a time. We learn as we go, as the common thread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is woven throughout the everyday moments, events, and situations we encounter. Only He can tie the pieces together and create something of beauty that will serve to warm the hearts of others and surround them with His grace.

"Homespun Devotions: Volume One" began a series of books that record the piecing together of many of the stories of my life and the rich spiritual truths God has imparted along the way; this is Volume Two. As you read these homespun narratives of family, love, marriage, motherhood, friendship, and the music that is such a part of my heritage, you will discover glimpses into moments of the soul-searching and intense struggles I have experienced while journeying to a place of complete surrender to the One who bled and died for me.

I point you to no denomination, religious group, or sect—only to the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ, where redemption, restoration, healing, and peace still freely and lavishly flow. He loves you with a never-ending, unconditional love—I pray you embrace this truth afresh and with a deeper persuasion as you read.

My thoughts: 

 Each devotional contains a small story from Mrs. Smith's life and she gives application to go along with the lesson learned. I truly enjoy them. Whether it's a devotional reminding me to appreciate others and the things they do for me, or sharing a reminder that God is stronger than I am and can bear all my burdens, or giving me encouragement to be faithful in praying, or sharing the sweet truth that God knows me fully and loves me, each one is an encouragement to my heart. And if you read the book, I know they'll encourage you too. 

You can buy the book here on Amazon. And in case you haven't read the first devotional book, here it is.  This would be an awesome resource for any Christian friend who needs encouragement or who just likes to read. :) 

I want to thank Mrs. Smith for allowing me to read and review this book.
